Author defends researcher who lost an employment tribunal case over her ‘offensive and exclusionary’ tweets
Having not tweeted since November, JK Rowling broke her Twitter silence today to speak up in support of a researcher who lost an employment tribunal case for using “offensive and exclusionary” language on Twitter.
Rowling tweeted about Maya Forstater, who lost her job at an international thinktank after a series of tweets including one in which she stated: “Men cannot change into women”.
Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill
